A Lesson for Flying Outside the Box and living by God's Divine Power

Discover how thinking outside-the-box unleashes the most innovative and creative ideas—and how it can can change YOUR reality.

By His Divine Power

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
“By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence”
2 Peter 1:3

TODAY’S WORD: 
Selah people' and friends whether you realize it or not, God has already given you everything you need to live the life He’s called you to. You don’t need to feel stressed out, worried or afraid. You don’t have to wonder if you’re “good enough” to receive from God because God’s blessing has nothing to do with your performance. He has already blessed you and given you everything you need by His divine power!

Just as the video story of the plane and limits on how we can or will accomplish our goals based on the world are not always limited to the "box" if we follow God's divine life for us. The world’s system tells us to strive, toil and scrape to get what we want. Our culture puts limits on people because of their natural abilities, resources, background or circumstances. But with God, there are no limits! By His divine power, you are equipped, well able and strong. You are covered by His grace and mercy, and you are empowered to do all He has called you to do!

The next time you start thinking “I can’t...” or “I don’t have what it takes or I can't do it like someone else...,” attack those negative thoughts with the truth by declaring, “I have what it takes; I am well able; and I am equipped by His divine power at work in me!” I can do it my way and God will bless it!

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father God, thank You for Your power which is at work in me. Thank You for equipping me and calling me according to Your good purpose. Give me Your strength and peace today. I keep my mind stayed on You and not limited by the box the world or other people try to keep me in. 

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Your brother in Christ,
Patrick

Today's Scripture:
"Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly." John 7:24

Today's Word:
Selah people' and friends you may have heard that it takes six seconds to make a first impression. Most people don’t realize how many times they look at someone and instantly decide if they’re going to like them or not. The scripture says that man looks at the outward appearance of others while God looks at the heart.

Now you might be thinking, “Of course, God looks at the heart. He’s God. How am I supposed to look at another person’s heart?” You may not exactly know a person’s heart, but as Jesus said in this verse, you can look beneath the surface. You can take time to get to know someone who might look or act differently than you. Don’t just write someone off because they don’t measure up to your standards. You never know how God will use that relationship in your life. 

Jesus said, “Whatever you’ve done to the least of these, you’ve done to Me.” In other words, when we make quick judgments about people, it’s as if we are making quick judgments about God. Don’t fall into that trap! Instead, look beneath the surface. Look for the good in others, find some common ground and watch what God will do through the relationships in your life!

Prayer for Today:
Father, help me to look beneath the surface. Help me to see others the way You see them. Show me how to connect with others and be a blessing everywhere I go in Jesus’ name. Amen

Your brother in Christ,
Patrick

"Come as you are...Leave better!"

Today's Scripture:

"He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." Psalm 40:2

Today's Word:

Selah people' and friends all of us can look back at things that should have defeated us. Maybe a broken relstionship or bad break should have taken you down, but look—you’re still standing! That addiction, that partying lifestyle should have killed you, but because of a praying loved one, you're still standing and becoming freer. Or, maybe you lost a loved one. You didn't think you could go on. You thought you'd seen your best days, but God breathed new life into you. He lifted you out of the pit and put a new song in your heart, and here you are today, still standing. 

When you go through difficult things, it’s an opportunity to see the goodness of God shine in the darkness. You see Him lift you up, restore you, promote you and heal you. When you have this history with God, you don't get discouraged by every difficulty. You don’t fall apart because of a disappointment. You don’t get upset because people are talking about you.

You know that God brought you through in the past, and He is going to bring you through in the future! Rejoice todaybecause you are still standing and headed to the place of total victory!

Prayer for Today:

Father, thank You for lifting me out of my difficulty and for helping me stand on solid ground. I trust Your goodness. I know that You are faithful. Help me stay focused on Your victory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

In Christ service,
Patrick

The 10 Rules for Achieving Success Inspirational Video

Achieving a success is like opening a combination lock. You need the correct numbers in the correct right, left, right sequence. This short inspirational video will give you the combination to the lock.

Clearly defined goals allow you to travel toward another horizon that represents the end of one experience and the transition to a new and better existence. The objective is to choose the right goals, and then to create the necessary causes—the effects will follow!

WHAT GOALS HAS GOD CALLED YOU TO?
As you take a moment to reflect on this inspirational video on GOALS let me ask you what has God called you to do? What is He speaking to your heart to make as a goal? Read today's scripture and join me as we contemplate the direction God has on our lives.


TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
“And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, ‘The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor’ ”

Judges 6:12

TODAY’S WORD: 
In scripture, God called Gideon a mighty man of fearless courage. Now Gideon looked around and said, “God couldn’t be talking about me. I come from the poorest family. I’m the least one in my father’s house.” Gideon saw himself as weak, defeated, and not able. But God saw him as strong, confident, and being more than a conqueror.

The question is are we going to believe what God says about us, or are we going to believe what we feel, what we think, or what the circumstances look like? You may feel weak today, but God calls you strong. You may feel like a victim, but God calls you a victor. You may be afraid, but God calls you confident. You may be in debt, God calls you prosperous. You may be sick, God calls you well. You may be addicted, God calls you free. You may feel inadequate, but God calls you well able.

Today, get into agreement with God and begin to make goals based on what God says and not what the world has condemned you with. No matter what the circumstances look like, you've got to dig your heels in and say, “God, I agree with what You call me. I’m free, forgiven and healed in Jesus’ Name!”

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father God, thank You for loving me and calling me Your own. I choose to receive Your Word which is life, health and strength to me. Fill me with Your peace and wisdom. I set my thoughts on You. In Jesus’ Name. 
Amen.
